Thanx james that helped.... But....
It nearly does what it supposed to but I thought as it was on an exitframe handler it would repeat its self....cause all the code is doing is takeing 25 % off the image size. But if its still larger than a certain size it doest repeat the process....do I need some dsort of repeat loop... How would one put that into the code Thanx Jayp -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of James Newton Sent: 27 February 2002 14:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Resizing Lingo problem!

Director much prefers to change the size of a sprite. Try: on exitframe me tSprite = sprite(me.spritenum) tMember = member(150) tSprite.member = tMember maxWidth = 350 maxHeight = 174 tWidth = tMember.width tHeight = tMember.height if tWidth > 350 then tWidth = tWidth * 0.75 tHeight = tHeight * 0.75 tSprite.width = tWidth tSprite.height = tHeight end if end You can change the size of a bitmap sprite using imaging Lingo. Your code (minus the asterisks) will actually work with text members in Director 8, since the width of the member is a settable property.
